WARNING
Small particles (e.g. dust) blown through
the blower tube and nozzle can cause a
static charging of the blower tube. This is
especially true in low humidity and high
dust conditions. In order to reduce the
risk of shock from static charging and
subsequent injury from loss of control,
your blower has features designed to
help reduce the build up of static
electricity in the blower tube and
equalize the charge with the engine
and/or operator.
THE USE OF THE ELECTRIC
BLOWER
Electrical Precautions
See also the electrical safety
precautions listed under "Important
safety precautions" at the beginning of
this manual.
WARNING
Special precautions for electric blowers
must be observed to reduce the risk of
personal injury and property damage
from fire and electric shock.
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Only authorized
personnel should repair or replace
damaged cords. Never attempt
unauthorized repairs or open the
powerhead.
BGE 61, BGE 71
WARNING
The voltage of the power supply must
agree with the voltage specified on the
blower's machine label. Improper
voltage will damage the blower and may
cause personal injury.
WARNING
Be sure switch is off when plugging the
unit into the power supply in order to
reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock
from arcing and the risk of injury from
unintended blowing.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk
of serious injury from
electrocution, never use
your blower if the power
supply cord or plug is cut,
cracked, worn or
damaged.
Have a dealer replace
such a power supply
cord.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not use
the blower in damp or wet
locations. Do not use on
wet surfaces. Do not
expose to or use in rain.
Do not handle the plug or
the unit with wet hands.
WARNING
When using the electric blower, always
keep the power supply cord behind you.
Always ensure that your power supply
cord does not become entangled with
obstacles or objects. Damaged cables
may cause electrocution. Always
disconnect the plug from the power
supply when you take a break.
Cord Sets
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock use
only extension cords that are intended
for outdoor use. Do not use damaged
extension cords. Examine extension
cord before using and replace if
damaged. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your blower will
draw. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The table
in chapter "Important Safety
Precautions" shows the correct gauge
extension cord to use depending on cord
length for 120 Volt power tools using 6 -
10 amps.
Appropriate extension cords are
available in special stores for electrical
equipment. Cords should be suitable for
outdoor use and marked "Suitable For
Use With Outdoor Appliances – Store
Indoors."
WARNING
To reduce the likelihood of
disconnection and the risk of electric
shock, always attach the extension cord
to the blower using the strain relief hook
